The Rising Eagle - a MDS2 German AAR

The War of All Times begins. . .

In Septenber 14th, 2006; North Korea joins SCO and declares war on South Korea. The DPRK Army launches a massive artillery and ballistic missile bombardment of Seoul and other major cities that are in range. The Korean peninsula is in conflict again after 50 years of armistice.







While the war between SCO and NATO rages in Asia and Northern Europe, another conflict is about to start in the mainland Europe. The Wehrmacht is fully mobilized to start a war by October 1st, 2006; the western border is guarded by Jager brigades that took defensive positions in key areas, to stop an attack coming from France, Nederlands and Belgium. The southern border is also guarded against attacks coming from Italy. Thousands of anti-tank missile and machine gun posts stand ready to face the incoming enemy, Luftwaffe has an air defense plan named Flugabwehr West that will guard the air space of the western area of the country.
In the East, the ground forces take offensive positions at the border with Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

After careful considerations, the Wehrmacht's General Staff chosed Fall Schwarz C for a strategic assault on Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

While Germany turns it's guns towards the West, Italy, officialy at war with Germany, approaches the german government with a a proposition for nonaggression and a continuation of economical cooperation. Udo Voight decides to accept this proposition and promises that German troops will never cross the border as long as the italians do the same. The Italian politicians are skeptical about this promise but they cannot afford a war at this moment.

To achieve European domination, France, an enemy of Germany, must be defeated. The General Staff of Wehrmacht created an invasion plan that will target Nederlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France.
The objective of this strategic offensive plan is to rapidly takeover the enemy land through two encirclements that will trap most of the french and belgian troops.


The first phase of the offensive has two parts:

1. A three pronged attack into Nederland and Belgium

• Wilehlmshafen -> Groningen -> Leeuwarden
• Munster -> Arnhem -> Utrecht -> Amsterdam
• Dortmund -> Eindhoven -> Rotterdam -> Ghent

2. A two pronged attack into France

• Cologne -> Luxembourg -> Arlon -> Reims -> Valenciennes
• Cologne -> Luxembourg -> Metz -> Chaumont -> Dijon

The second phase will have as main objective two pocket destruction operations followed by a march towards Paris.

• Ghent -> Dunkerque -> Calais -> Dieppe -> Le Havre
• Ghent -> Lille -> Amiens
• Valenciennes -> Compiegne
• Reims -> Troyes
• Dijon -> Auxerre

And a question:
What do you think should happen to France, Nederlands, Belgium and Luxembourg?

The war in Asia between NATO and SCO forces continues. ROC Army occupied the Kinmen island to prevent an joint Russian and Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the war in that sector entered in a stalemate becaause the chinese don't have the ability to conduct landings because of US Navy interdiction in the area. More chinese troops are coming up from the south to reinforce Taiwan sector.

The war in Korean peninsula also reached a stalemate, the ROK Army assault was stopped by Russian and North Korean forces in the mountain areas in the north. The sattelite information shows that SCO prepares a massive counterattack coming three directions, including over the Yalu river at the border with China. If NATO forces don't reinforce the ROK Army soon, the ballance of the war may turn in favor of SCO in the Korean Peninsula.







Chinese forces landed troops in the Phillipines archipelago and conquered the northern part of the country. Another chinese landing force is heading towards the south while an US landing force approaches Phillipines to land reinforcements.





The SCO forces advance into Afghanistan that is now free of US occupation forces. A Russian infantry division occupies Kabul.



As war rager through Asia and Europe, another major conflict is ready to erupt in the Middle East, a coalition named ECON, formed between Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Lybia, Jordan and Iran mass troops at the border with Israel and Iraq to start an invasion. Talks between Germany and Iran about a economical and military partnership are on the way.





The Sri Lankan People's Liberation Front and several independent guerillas succeed in defeating the indian occupation forces and free the country, the war still rages between the two sides.





On the European front, greman forces occupied Denmark and established a military administration regime in the country. Udo Voight plans to for Denmark are not yet disclosed.





Another important event happens for Germany, talks with the Hungarian government about a military alliance were successful after Udo Voight promised to the hungarian government to give 3 slovakian provinces for annexation. Bratislava, Banska Bystrica and Kosice were annexed by Hungary while Zilina province was annexed to Germany. The hungarian president announced that a New Great Hungary is now possible with the support of Germany, a new order in Europe is about to begin.



Soon after the German - Hungarian alliance, Serbia, that had close ties with Germany, approaces Udo Voight with a proposal to join the alliance if some territorial "issues" will be solved. The German leader agrees to this proposal and sends military advisors and some economical support to Serbia.

Germany and the new Greek nationalist government start talks about the "Turkish Problem" that is still a major threat to South-Eastern Europe. The Greek head of state announced that Greece does not want to participate in any conflicts at the moment because of internal problems but a future alliance between the two countries is possible.


The Russian forces continue their march through Scandinavia, while the German government starts talks with the Russian officials to stop the war in northern Europe because it breaks the German sphere of influence in the area. The results of this talks are yet to be announced.
